We investigate 3-homomorphisms on Banach algebras with bounded approximate identities and establish in two ways (for unital and non-unital cases) that every involution preserving homomorphism between $C^\ast$-algebras is norm decreasing. date: 2007 date_type: published publication: Bulletin of the Malaysian Mathematical Sciences Society volume: 30 number: 2 publisher: Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia pagerange: 195-200 refereed: TRUE issn: 0126-6705 official_url: http://math.usm.my/bulletin/pdf/v30n2/v30n2p10.pdf related_url_url: http://math.usm.my/bulletin/html/vol30_2_10.htm referencetext: [1] H.G.
